2-LEVEL LIGHTING TIMER
Light comes on half bright for selected time after dusk
(Off, 3 hr., 6 hr., until dawn). If motion is sensed, the
light turns on full bright for the ON-TIME (1, 5, or 20
minutes) then returns to dim mode.

minutes for
the circuitry to calibrate.
Manual mode only works at night
because daylight returns the sensor
to AUTO.
Flip the light switch off for one second
then back on to toggle between AUTO
and MANUAL MODE.
Manual mode works only with the
ON-TIME switch in the 1, 5, or 20
position.
* If you get confused while switching modes, turn the
power off for one minute, then back on. After the cali-
bration time the control will be in the AUTO mode.

INSTALLATION
For easy installation, select an existing light operated
by a wall switch for replacement.
For best performance, mount the fi xture about 8 ft. (2.4 m)
above the ground.
CAUTION: Keep the sensor at least 1" (2.5 cm)
away from the lamps.
❒ Place the Mounting Bolt through the front of the
junction box cover. Push the small gasket hole over
the Mounting Screw.
❒ Make sure the wire connectors and wires are inside
the junction box. Align the Mounting Screw with the
center hole in the Mounting Strap. Secure the fi xture
to the Mounting Strap.
MOUNT THE LIGHT CONTROL
❒ Push the Rubber Plug fi rmly into place.
❒ If not installed on a weatherproof box, caulk the
wall plate and mounting surface with silicone
❒ Adjust the lamp holders by loosening the lock nuts
but do not rotate the lamp holders more than 180°
from the factory setting.
Keep lamps at least 1" (2.5
cm) from the sensor.
Black to Black
White to White
Gasket
Connect any fi xture ground wire(s) and the cover plate
ground screw to the junction box ground wire.
CAUTION: To Avoid Fire Or Burn Hazards:
• Allow fi xture to cool before touching. The bulb and the
fi xture operate at high temperatures.
• Keep fi xture at least 2" (5 cm) from combustible materi-
als. Do not aim at objects closer than 3 feet. (1 m).
• Use only T3, 150W (max.) tungsten halogen 120
VAC lamps.
WIRE THE LIGHT CONTROL
WARNING: Turn power off at circuit breaker.
❒ Remove the existing light fi xture.
❒ Install mounting strap to junction box using screws
appropriate for your junction box.
❒ The plastic hanger can be used to hold the fi xture
while wiring. The small end of the plastic hanger
can be threaded through the hole in the center of
the cover plate. The small end then goes into one
of the slots on the mounting strap.
❒ Thread all fi xture wires through the large holes in
the gasket as shown.
❒ Connect the junction box wires to the light fi xture
wires as shown. Twist together and secure with
wire connectors.

Mounting
Bolt
For eave mount only:
❒ Swing the sensor head towards the clamp screw
joint.
If the sensor pops out of the ball joint, loosen the
clamp screw and push the sensor back into the ball
joint. Tighten the clamp screw when done.
❒ Then rotate the sensor head clockwise 180° so
the controls face down.
Controls
For under eave installation, the sensor head must
be rotated as shown in the next two steps for proper
operation and to avoid the risk of electrical shock.
Also for proper under eave operation, remove the
protective backing from the Light Shield and stick on
as shown below.

BULB INSTALLATION
NOTE: Lamps are included, but you will need to
install them
NOTE: When re-lamping, turn power off and let the
fi xture cool.
❒ Open glass covers. To remove the old bulb push the
bulb towards the right (with fi xture as shown) until
the left side of the bulb is clear of the left socket.
❒ To install a bulb, push the bulb into the right socket
so the bulb fi ts completely into the left socket.
❒ Check that the bulb is seated properly.
❒ Close the glass covers.

minutes.
Bottom of Sensor
Avoid aiming the sensor at:
• Objects that change temperature rapidly, such as
heating vents and air conditioners. These heat
sources could cause false triggering.
• Areas where pets or traffi c may trigger the control.
• Nearby large, light-colored objects refl ecting light
may trigger the shut-off feature. Do not point other
lights at the sensor.

❒ Turn the RANGE control to the mid position, 2-Level
Lighting to OFF and the ON-TIME control to the
TEST position.
❒ Loosen the clamp screw in the
sensor ball joint and gently
rotate the sensor.
❒ Walk through the coverage
area noting where you are
when the lights turn on. Move
the sensor head up, down, or
sideways to change the cover-
age area. Keep the sensor at
least 1" (2.5 cm) away from
the lamps.
❒ Adjust the RANGE as needed.
RANGE set too high may
increase false triggering.
❒ Secure the sensor head's
aim by tightening the clamp
screw. Do not overtighten the
screw.
❒ Set the amount of TIME you
want the lights to stay on after
motion is detected (1, 5, or 20 minutes).
❒ Set the 2-Level Lighting switch to the amount of
time after dusk you want the lights on at low level
(Off, 3, 6 Hrs., Dusk-to-Dawn).

POSSIBLE CAUSE
1. A lamp is positioned too close to the
sensor or pointed at nearby objects
that cause heat to trigger the sensor.
(Reposition the lamp away from the
sensor or nearby objects).
2. Sensor is pointed toward a heat
source like an air vent, dryer vent, or
brightly-painted heat-refl ective surface.
(Reposition sensor).
3. Light Control is in Manual Mode. (Switch
to Auto).
1. Heat or light from the lamps may be
turning the Light Control on and off.
(Reposition the lamps away from the
sensor).
2. Heat being refl ected from other objects
may be affecting the sensor. (Reposi-
tion sensor).
3. Light Control is in the Test mode and
warming up. (Flashing is normal under
these conditions. Turn Boost off).
1. Sensor is detecting its own lights. (Re-
position lamps to keep area below the
sensor relatively dark).
SYMPTOM
Lights stay
on continu-
ously.
Lights fl ash
on and off.
Lights fl ash
once, then
stay off in
Manual Mode.
SYMPTOM
Lights will
not come on.
Lights come
on in day-
light.
Lights come
on for no
apparent
reason.
Lights turn
off too late
in Dusk-to-
Dawn setting.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
1. Light switch is turned off.
2. Light is loose or burned out.
3. Fuse is blown or circuit breaker is
turned off.
4. Daylight turn-off is in effect (Recheck
after dark).
5. Incorrect circuit wiring, if this is a new
installation.
6. Re-aim the sensor to cover desired
area.
1. Light Control may be installed in a
relatively dark location.
2. Light Control is in Test. (Set control
switch to an ON-TIME position).
1. Light Control may be sensing small
animals or automobile traffi c. (Re-aim
sensor).
2. Sensitivity is set too high. (Reduce
sensitivity).
3. 2-Level Lighting Timer is on.
